I DID NOT KNOW 
what the thrii) w^ere when I first saw their working’s but thought that the 
blooms 'were sun burned. Perhaps you have had thrip and did not know it. 
If blooms look wilted and only about half open, have silvery spots on the 
foliage, you had better examine them carefully for very likely the thrip are 
after them. 
They are easily controlled by soaking bulbs before planting in lye or 
corosive sublimate and then spraying when not over six inches high with 
the Paris Green-Bi'own sugar combination, I’epeating the spraying w^eekly 
three or four times. See formulas in the 1933 Year Book of N. E. G. S. 
Now,—You want to grow good blooms and good kinds. It costs no more 
than to grow the ordinary kinds. The following are all Brown’s originations 
and I guarantee every one of them to be a superior kind w'ell worth growing 
in any garden and showing in any show. I am not issuing a catalog this 
year, (depression). Descriptions must be short but take my word for it that 
they are good. I dare you to buy 10 kinds and prove me false if you can. 
I know that those ten will just make you want the whole list. 
Here they are. Remember, every one A-1.
